Open thread: Sunday morning talking heads

posted at 8:01 am on October 21, 2012 by Allahpundit

Less than three weeks to go until E-Day, which means it’s time for the brightest star in the constellation of young Republican leaders to hit the three broadcast networks on Romney’s behalf. His home state’s already starting to topple into the GOP column. Hopefully this’ll be the last little push it needs.

If you’re watching Rubio, be sure at least to record Candy Crowley’s program. After Tuesday’s unpleasantness, the confrontation between her and Newt over the proper role of a debate moderator should be epic. The line-up via WaPo:

Crowley was actually a responsible journalist in the segment. Richardson trotted out the usual nonsense.

I thin Romney should go with a leadership/competency argument at the debate since the Regime appears to be set on the excuse that the “intelligence community” has been giving them contradictory information for 5 weeks and nobody (Obama) has gotten them together to straighten it out.

This is funny. Sandra Fluke campaigns in NV and draws only 10 people. Since it was at the Sak ‘N Save, I assume they were just customers.

There was an unfortunate mix-up where apparently some customers thought she was giving out Pretzel Chips samples. Once the disappointed shoppers realized that wasn’t true, the ‘crowd’ quickly dispersed.

“Come back!” the famous young sex enthusiast and Obama supporter wailed at the vanishing backs of the Sak ‘N Save crowd, “don’t you want to hear about how much I spend on condoms in a week?!?”

Sorry NBC but anyone with a mind (sorry liberals that excludes you) thinks your bindergate conspiracy is a farce. When you are pulling ‘binders full of women’ out of the context that says he had the highest percentage of women on his cabinet, you have jumped the shark as a serious news show.

I watched MtP just long enough to catch Rubio’s segment. I am just sick to death of Dems worshipping at the altar of abortion! Have women really become so base that they spend their days wondering when the next random sex act is going to happen to them, and plotting where they can have the inconvenience scraped from their uterus? As a woman, I’m totally disgusted. I had my beautiful daughter, my only child, totally unplanned, when I was 19. Today she’s 22, a newly graduated and employed Physical Therapist. In all these years since, noboody, not my employers nor any shady evil male Republicans, have once attempted to obstruct my access to contraception, nor have I ever asked any one of them to pay for it!

LOL! Who decided the best use of such an asset was a grocery store in some town in Nevada?

I’m surprised the Flukster even went to a supermarket parking lot after what went down in Tuscon. Then again, she can feel secure in knowing that there isn’t a single person in this country who’d be willing to do time in exchange for attempting to harm her.

Cornhusker, I think that most women in this country are insulted. Doubly so when we see the prices of milk and other essentials at the grocery. I, as a woman, am more than just me “lady bits”. Any thinking female should be insulted by the left’s implication that we’re nothing but a bunch of sleazy tarts who only think of sex. Because that’s really what they’re saying.

I’m really tired seeing elected officials going onto Real Time with Bill Maher, it serves no purpose whatsoever. They’re politicians, so they can’t fight back in any meaningful way.

Bill Maher invested a million dollars of his own money into reelecting President Obama. Why do any of them think he’s going to do anything except destroy them unfairly and despicably on every level while his audience of cheerleaders dutifully hoots and hollers at every “point” he makes while panning everything they say? Dumb. They have a better shot on MSNBC.

Just wait till the real binders story hit the airwaves! Binders were what the first brassieres were called way back when. Merge this with Joe Biden’s claim that Repubs want to “put you back in chains”. See the result? Repubs only want to chain Black Women! DWS will finish the story on Sunday Oct. 28 as the October Surprise for Teh Won.

I am obligated to say that I thought Lindsey Graham did a very good job on Chris Wallace’ show. He knows what he’s talking about and he gets his facts in. (but Lord, is Durbin a crybaby? “Chris, you can play the tape anyway you want, but President Obama said ‘terrorism’, I heard it, it’s right there, he said it, it’s on tape, nah-nah-nah”)

In contrast, I’m in SW Ohio, and I have FNS with Wallace on between 10 and 11. Wallace led with Graham and Durbin on Benghazi. I think Wallace is actually p*ssed at the Obama administration over this because he went after Durbin about Obama’s response hammer and tong. Durbin seemed to leave the segment kind of whimpering.

Axelrod complained that Issa released documents from the Benghazi hearing with names of people in Libya that had been helping. How convenient that neither Ax or Gregory talked about the consulate being looted of sensitive documents and British weapons while it sat unguarded for 3 weeks before Obama got enough courage to send in the FBI.

All of the above, but in particular, speak with your fellow citizens, especially the low info types. I have found, for my situation at least, speaking to them not necessarily as pro Romney but anti The 0 Economy™ pays big dividends. Pointing out the misery index works well and as to why we are there. Making sure they understand you/we all being capitalist who enjoy making money and providing for ourselves and our own seems to resonate well with them. Additionally to my more liberal counterparts I have been reminding them of Romney being a center left sort of fellow. Plenty liberal enough for them. It is working, we can count on many extra votes going fore RR when this is done. Get busy! Spend the next two weeks, not being passive, but engaging and thoughtful. The result may surprise you. People inherently want to do better for themselves.

…oh no!…they’ll do THAT TOO!…by then more than 2 weeks will have passed and the MSM’s memory will have faded and JugEars will accommodate them…even picking up some homeless person to vote while limo-ing to the voting booth!

That was my exact thought too Ben! I was so distracted I couldn’t pay attention to the speakers. Kept waiting for the snakes to wake up and start wriggling….couldn’t stop staring at her head of snakes. Afraid I may have nightmares this week….must…stay…awake…..

I have a theory, carefully developed over the past … 15 seconds or so … that the network libearls are going to pose as journalists for a few weeks, since more people are paying attention. Let’s see if it holds water:

NBC’s Meet the Press: R; R; D; D; R; D; D

CBS’ Face the Nation: R; R; D; R; D; D; D

ABC’s This Week: D; R; D; R; D; D; R

Fox News Sunday: D; R; D; R; R; D; D

CNN: R; D; D; R; R; D; D; D

Moderators: D; D; D; D; R

Full disclosure: I labeled Greta a D and Wallace an R. A wash.

Score:

D – 25
R – 16

Theory shot down quickly…the networks are just as partisan D as ever, and last week’s balance was a quirk of scheduling with no meaning. Journalism remains stone cold dead. If you see a journalist of any kind, b1tch slap them and know that you will have done America a favor.

What was Turbin Durbin talking about? I mean other than whining like usual. What was that about a football game? Whatever, the moron meme is well in place. Now, let’s see who grows a pair and asks,:How did Obama know Cowley’s notes/debate prep better than she did? How did he know that Cowley had an obscure “Transcript” that Obama planned to use to cover for his Big Lie, to the American People? How,when & where did they meet, in order to collude against & try to catch Romney in a Game of Gotcha?
